The former master of the Su family sounded cold. However, it did not mean that he did not acknowledge Zhao Youlin. No one had ever brought her to him before. He also did not concern himself with the details about Mu Tingfeng’s relationship.
Now that Mu Tingfeng had brought her to him, it was clear that Mu Tingfeng was serious about this lady. If he was serious, he should not treat this matter recklessly.
How could Mu Tingfeng possibly not receive the underlying meaning from the former master’s words? His eyes flashed as he gave a nod and said solemnly, “I won’t.”
After the former master of the family received his desired answer, he shifted his attention from Mu Tingfeng and surveyed his surroundings.
After scanning his surroundings several times, he creased his eyebrows and asked, “Where is Xiao Qi? Is she not at home?”
They got worked up upon hearing the former master mention Su He.
Jiang Wenfang and the rest of her group snapped out of their trance as soon as the former master reminded them. She smiled faintly as she said, “That’s right. Where’s Xiao Qi? Is she outside? I haven’t seen her for three months and I miss her so much. Give her a call and ask her to come back quickly.”
“Urm…” Su Jifeng appeared stiff for a brief moment. He forced a smile on his face as he said, “Xiao Qi didn’t go out. She’s upstairs.”
“Upstairs? Why didn’t she come down? Didn’t you tell her that we’d be back today?”
“I did… But…” Su Jifeng unusually found himself at a loss for words as he faced the kith and kin of significant status in the family.
Zhao Youlin frowned as she watched everything from the side. In the end, she could not help but cut in, “Xiao He… she was just downstairs. But because she isn’t feeling well, Jifeng asked her to go upstairs and take a rest.”
As Zhao Youlin was speaking, she elbowed Su Jifeng. He snapped out of his daze and quickly played along with her. “She’s right. Xiao Qi is not feeling too well, so I asked her to go upstairs and take a rest.”
The former master watched their interaction. A glimpse of bone-chilling light flashed across his eyes.
Meanwhile, Jiang Wenfang did not notice this. When she heard their conversation, she panicked. “Xiao Qi is not feeling too well, huh? Why is she not feeling well all of a sudden? Have you asked the doctor to check on her?”
“Mother, Xiao Qi is fine. She’s feeling a little… dizzy only.”
“What exactly do you mean when you say dizziness only?! Dizziness can quickly progress to more serious issues. I asked you to take care of Xiao Qi at home, and this is how you do it, huh?! Certainly not! I need to go upstairs and see how she’s doing.”
Su Jifeng was severely chastised and forced to bear a grudge. He did not usually pay this much attention to what she said. They planned to prevent Jiang Wenfang and the rest of her group from visiting Su He immediately. How could he let them pass him by so easily?
In fact, stopping Jiang Wenfang and the rest of her group would not be a long-term solution. This was especially so when Su Jifeng lacked the means to stop them.
Jiang Wenfang rebuked Su Jifeng as she wandered about the house. “Jifeng, I asked you to look after Xiao Qi. Why did she end up like this? She was fine before this, so how did she end up like this right now? Why are you getting more careless as you grow older, just like your father?! Sigh…”
Su Liqiang, who had been dragged innocently into the situation, fell speechless…
Su Jifeng, who had suffered a grievance, was rendered speechless…
Zhao Youlin had long heard from the others that Su He was the apple of the elders’ eyes in the family because she was the youngest daughter in the Su family, as well as a girl.
However, Zhao Youlin had never thought that the Su family elders’ love for Su He had grown to such exaggerations. They were doting on her instead of appreciating her!
Fortunately, Su He was well-behaved despite the fact that she came from such a family upbringing. Other women in her position would have acted arrogantly, like Zhao Youxi and Xie Yuqing.
Su Jifeng and the rest of his group panicked when they could not stop Jiang Wenfang. Just then, the audience heard a familiar female voice.
“Mother, you don’t have to come upstairs. I’m fine.”
The people engaged in the heated argument shut their mouths and looked up at the staircase.
As soon as Jiang Wenfang heard Su He’s voice, she turned her head around with a mixture of delight and concern. “Xiao Qi, didn’t you say you are not feeling too well? Why…”
Her words got stuck at the tip of her tongue. Jiang Wenfang widened her eyes and looked with great disbelief as she watched her daughter down the stairwell one step at a time.
Su Liqiang and the rest of her group also had their eyes fly wide open when they saw her. Su Ruixin sucked in a frigid breath and subconsciously covered her mouth.
If they only viewed Su He’s face, she resembled Jiang Wenfang and the rest of her group. However, when they continued to look down from her face, they noticed that her tummy had become far larger than it had been two months before.
“Xiao Qi, you…” Jiang Wenfang pointed at her daughter, who was approaching her. Even with her usually cutting tongue, she found herself at a loss for words. She swung her head around and peered at Su Jifeng after looking at Su He. Her expression became gloomy. “Can you tell me what happened?”
It was only natural for parents to feel as if the sky had suddenly collapsed when they learned that their precious daughter was pregnant, and they had no idea until they returned from their trip.
“Mother, you can’t put all the blame on Xiao Qi. In fact…”
Just when Su Jifeng was about to push all of the blame to Ye Yan, he heard a thud. Su He knelt down on the floor in front of the audience.
“Xiao Qi, you…” The audience was caught off guard once more.
Su He pursed her lips. She looked up at Jiang Wenfang and the rest of her group decisively as she said, “Father, Mother, Grandpa, I’m sorry.”
“Xiao Qi, you…” Jiang Wenfang’s body shook slightly. Su Liqiang had been standing by the side, and when he saw this, he quickly helped her up.
However, Jiang Wenfang slapped Su Liqiang’s outstretched hand mercilessly. Her expression grew increasingly dark after she balanced herself. “Who did it?”
Su He was shocked. She bit her lips and fell silent.
When Jiang Wenfang saw this, her expression grew darker. She then turned her head around and looked at Su Jifeng. “Xiao Qi is not saying anything. Jifeng, tell us.”
Su Jifeng was stunned. He looked dumbfounded as he pointed to himself and asked, “Me? Say what?”
“Of course to tell us the person who got your younger sister pregnant!” Jiang Wenfang screamed like a banshee. The audience, who was in a daze because of Su He’s pregnancy, were snapped out of their shock.
Su Liqiang’s face instantly turned black. The way he looked at Su Jifeng was akin to devouring him alive.
“Darn it! Who the hell has the guts to get my precious daughter pregnant?! I’ll certainly rip him into shreds and toss him into the river to feed the fishes!”
Su Liqiang screamed. The next thing he knew, he was slapped by Jiang Wenfang. She rolled her eyes as she said, “No cursing.”
Su Liqiang fell speechless.
The audience by the side was rendered speechless.
Jiang Wenfang was not aware of her own shocking actions. After she slapped Su Liqiang, she returned her attention to Su Jifeng. She gave a crafty smile as she said, “Jifeng, tell me, who got your younger sister pregnant?”
Su Jifeng was speechless..
